vw cherry red paint - huh.

its not that easy to locate an old vw paint code that will work today... but i´m getting closer.
thanks to the great people from www.volkkaripalsta.com, now i have a contact that might help.
i would like to have the car painted in the same colour, that it espcaped the karmann company.
plus some awesome wheels from paruzzi, + some tyres from camskills.uk + well loads of things...etc... lets see... you know.

ghia vert - www.paruzzi.fi to the resque

ONE STOP SHOP- paruzzi.fi!!!

I have to admit, i got the sheet metal in the picks, new narrowed adjustable front axle, + loads of parts brake & suspension parts, roof parts, etc...all in one shop, (Heck even the seats are from paruzzi...) which makes life a lot easier than drive everywhere collecting for every different part, so the project might upgrade pretty fast...this way. and the service is just great!

For the Ghia, i was bout to slam it, but the first thing, that came before that is to repair the windshield wiper system. ok, i took my iphone, googled "ghia 1966 wiring diagram" and there i was, repairing the wiring of the ghia, and damn, i got it even working, (maybe the medication works partly to me, normally i would give up in these things so much more easily). 

ok, after that i thought i could make the garage useful by cleaning it, and that took a bit longer than i expected, BUT it´s getting there. i will make it. and then the front axle will come out pretty fast. and i´ll put some nice new stuff for the inspector to see. hope he likes it. ;-) ... 

oberschlachter - swap 7

some picks of the great swap in the link....

fun in finn - "vw show"

i checked out the vw fun in finn in oittaa, and i have to say that it was a bit like turning a time machine 20 years back. i dont know but there wasn´t that many of really cool cars in there, ok, there was many original style with some small mods, but nothing for the hard core guys. :-(

it was a ok evening but i prefer more krem-a-que or similar happenings... this was a bit lame for me. ok, check out the pics.

splitscreen shopping in Hartola

We had agreed to checkout an old vintage vw splitscreen van and were hoping to find an oldtimer in good shape. Previously received snapshots sent to us via e-mail looked promising, but they did not prepare us for the earthshattering shock - this beauty was no lemon! All of the doors shut like the one in a safevault. The hinges did not squeak for mercy, the original seats are in pristine condition and the paintjob was awesome, when one takes into consideration it is more than 50 y. old.

The vehicle was originally a panelvan, but the first owner promptly commissioned Wiima- a finnish bus body manufacturer- the conversion to a microbus. It is the only one of its kind with inlayed passenger sidewindows (flat window pane) in Finland. The engine was the original 30 hp powerhouse and every conceivable bit and accessory was original. No hidden surprises, rust or accident history!

It was a pleasure to do business with Mr Hirvonen, a VW -aficionado with integrity and great personality.

Greetings from Hartola.... Jyri & Mika (current owner) the great splitscreen hunters
